what's interesting, if you talk to engineers and energy experts who really study this stuff is you get a lot more bang for your buck when you spend those bucks doing energy efficiency rather than doing these big elaborate renewable projects. you know, it doesn't make sense to take a school building which is old with drafty windows and put $1 million solar ray on the top. whatever electricity you generate, you're then going to basically waste because you're leaking power out the windows. and i would just say the prop 39 is the most important ballot question on california's ballot that nobody paid attention to. it passed by 20 points. most people couldn't explain what it did. this money is putting in $2.75 billion in new money over the next 5 years to retrofit school buildings. that is as much money, nearly, as the stem cell bond that we did in 2004 which was $3 billion. arnold schwarzenegger's million solar roofs which was $3 billion. nothing like it has ever been done on this scale in any state in the country. >> let me ask you this. how much of california's schools currently spending
